We surprised them Friday morning with Mickey Mouse T-shirts and away we went to Orlando. The kids were so funny because they just kept saying, "we are going to Disney Jr, we are going to Disney Jr." They just had no concept of what we were actually going to do.
We got there about 11:30 on Friday morning and got inside the park with our new annual passes and took a look around. Slightly overwhelming on your first time there with children...whew!
We started walking and ended up in the Circus area between Fantasy Land and Tomorrow Land. We went on our first ride, The Dumbo ride and got to meet our first characters, Donald and Goofy. Then we went on the rollercoaster over there. Kaitlyn and Ryan both LOVED it! After that, we walked a bit and checked out PeterPan, the teacups, It's a Small World, met Woody and Jessie, got a fast pass for Thunder Mountain, rode the Magic Carpet, went in the Swiss Family Robinson tree house, saw the Evil stepmother and step sisters, rode Pirates of the Caribbean, tried to find a Princess with no luck and finally made it until 6:45 at the park...7 hours and tired kiddos. We headed to a hotel right off of property and got ready to do it all again Saturday.
Colin woke us up bright and early at 6:45 Saturday morning and we were at the park by 8:45 and still had to take the tram monorail to actually get in. So we didn't see them opening the park. We went straight to meet Cinderella and Aurora, rode Ariel and Peter Pan, met Peter Pan, rode Thunder Mountain finally, had lunch at Pinochio's, rode Space Mountain twice (with Ryan in the front row BOTH times!!), rode the Buzz and Alien spaceship ride, and finally met Buzz. We had to leave at 3:45 because Kaitlyn passed out sideways in the stroller. It was time and the kids were exhausted!! We cannot wait to go back...maybe even this weekend. :)
